Effect of mammary stimulation on dairy cows and heifers exposed to a lactation induction protocol
Cows (n = 21), dried off for a minimum of 45 days, and nulliparous heifers (n = 26), at ages > 18 months old, were placed on a 12-day Lactation Induction (LI) protocol. One group of animals (including both cows and heifers) received 3-minute mammary gland stimulation, along with the LI protocol. Another group, again including both cows and heifers, received no stimulation. Only the LI protocol ...
متن کاملEffect of corn snaplage on lactation performance by dairy cows
The objective of this study was to determine lactation performance by dairy cows fed corn snaplage either alone (SNAP) or in combination with ground dry shelled corn (SPDC) versus rolled high-moisture shelled corn (RHMC). Dry-matter content was greater for RHMC (78.2%) than SNAP (68.5%). The starch content of SNAP was approximately 10%-units lower than RHMC. Sixty Holstein cows (30 primiparous ...
متن کاملEffect of Milking Frequency on the Lactation Performance and Lactation Curve of Holstein Dairy Cows in Iran
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of milking frequency (three times daily vs. two times daily) on the lactation curve shape, partial and 305-d lactation performance in Holstein dairy cows in Iran. Data from February 2000 to December 2012 comprising 217345 lactations on 141364 cows distributed in 324 herds collected by the Animal Breeding Center of Iran were used. The mean milk...
متن کاملComparison of Different Lactation Curve Models to Describe Lactation Curve in Moroccan Holstein-Friesian Dairy Cows
In this study, the incomplete gamma function, an exponential function, a mixed-log function and a polynomial function were evaluated to describe the lactation curve in Moroccan Holstein-Friesian dairy cows. Data from 1990 to 1999, comprising 77130 monthly milk yields of 6029 dairy cows in 280 dairy herds, were used. Edits were carried out by considering the lactation length (5 d and
متن کاملInduction of ovulation in nonlactating dairy cows and heifers using different doses of a deslorelin implant.
The objective of this study was to evaluate ovarian function after inducing ovulation with a deslorelin implant in nonlactating dairy cows and heifers. Cattle received GnRH on Day -9, and PGF2alpha on Day -2. On Day 0, in Experiment 1, cows received either 100 microg GnRH (Control), a 750 microg (DESLORELIN 750) or 1000 microg (DESLORELIN 1000) deslorelin implant. On Day 0, in Experiment 2, cow...
